with great mustache comes great responsibility

What a basic video. He doesnt have to use humor and be silly to teach. I like that, This guy is a great teacher and I'm about to check out his other videos. Great

Framing side walls, windows and doors? Not a problem. Top it with a hip roof? Before today, I wasn't brave enough to even consider it a possibility; fears of elevated costs for all the waste in materials and those mental images of the roof collapsing in on my new addition. I'm not a builder by trade so thank you for taking the time to give a very thorough explanation followed by the markings, cuts, assembly and recap. Teachers like you help to change dreams into realities for many of us. Bare minimum, we have a greater understanding if/when we're dealing with architects and building contractors.

just finished a hip on my garden shed . Was going to do a Gable, like everyone around me . watching your video inspired me . I took it one step at a time, following you closely . If I may, I like to add for others who are new to this . Make sure your floor is perfectly level and solid . Top plate needs to be level and square . Use nice looking material . I used screws through out for floor and framing . Very little hand banging . Don't overthink it .
I enjoyed building the hip on my shed . My tolerance was +/- 3/32 inch , not sure if that is good or not, but I like it .
Thank you for a great video and the inspiration .

I like the fact that you did not over complicate the process. However, this level of skills are not intended for beginners.

The great thing about this video, I saved a lot of money. I now know to just hire a pro rather than waste time and dollars attempting it myself. Thanks!

[juanberrios]

Thank you for your time and generosity giving such great input on the roof framing work. Much clearer than my teacher at the carpenter and jointers school, some thirty five years ago.

That dude looks like the most '90's construction worker' I've ever seen

[oscarfonseca]

your level of experience is at another level congratulations you are great

[freedomofspeech]

Old school. Experience, perfect methodology, without unnecessary clowning. The guys know what they are doing and share it. I appreciate here in Poland. There is a lack of such professionals today. Does anyone know what years it is?

[rrssmooth]

I love how you have learnt that skill and use it so confidently. I would say if I do this, you are going to end up with a whole lot of short timber.
I am glad you showed how to put up the ridge, as I was wondering what went first. A really helpful explanation.

This is great information! Did anyone else notice or feel like this video was made in the mid 90's? Look at the truck and van in the background. Did you make this excellent video all those years ago? THATS forethought and planning!

[justinleybourne]

literally nothing is left to the imagination here.. friggin love this!

[billpoulos]

Best explanation I have ever gotten for building a hip rafter roof. thank you.

[constructionsecrets]

smashing vid. Remind me so much of the late great Larry Haun. Easy for us to criticise. No one is perfect. keep it up guys, this vid is going to hit the millions.

[Timbo]

Nothing better in framing than a stick built roof!

[cgpimp]

For all of y'all hammer heads that are criticizing this man's video why don't y'all make y'alls own at lease he took the time to teach people something they didn't know

[raulcalderon]

You just made the impossible, possible. So much demonstrated with such few words. Thank you!

[MrKasiaa]

What a science! You are amazing! Who can draw out a roof for me and create all the measurements? I would only need to cut. Thank you.

[timwyld]

That simple jig he has used for the plumb cut is brilliant
